Description
Start with the storage rule, because it is the important one
These are single dose laundry detergent pacs, supplied as two tubs of 66 for a total of 132. Before anything else about how they clean: concentrated liquid detergent pacs are a documented child poisoning hazard, and that is not a footnote to the product, it is the first thing to know about owning them.
A pac is a small, soft, brightly patterned object holding highly concentrated detergent behind a film that dissolves the moment it meets moisture. Young children have bitten and squeezed them, and the result is chemical injury to the mouth, throat and eyes. Store the tub closed, on a high shelf, out of reach and preferably out of sight of children, and never in a low cupboard under the sink. Keep the lid shut between loads rather than leaving the tub open on top of the machine. Never handle pacs with wet hands, because damp fingers start the film dissolving and put concentrated detergent straight onto skin. Never cut, tear or squeeze a pac to speed anything up, and never decant them into a jar where the warnings are lost.
If the household includes small children and you want the format’s convenience without the hazard, a measured liquid such as the all free clear liquid detergent gives the same formulation in a bottle with a cap.
What the brand claims, and how to read it
The description states that all free clear is the leading laundry detergent brand recommended by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin, that the pacs are 100 percent free of perfumes and dyes, and that they deliver a hypoallergenic clean that is gentle on skin. A separate bullet says the product removes impurities without leaving irritating residues, footnoted to define impurities as dirt, body oil and allergens.
Every one of those is the manufacturer’s own claim and none is ours. Hypoallergenic is a marketing term rather than a defined standard, and we will not repeat it as an assessment. The professional recommendation claim is a marketing position rather than a clinical finding about any individual. And a claim to remove allergens is a claim about the wash rather than about anyone’s health, which is how it should be read.
The claim that stands up best is the simplest one, because it is a formulation statement you can verify on the tub: free of perfumes and dyes. Fragrance is among the most common causes of contact reaction in laundry products, and a product without it is a more predictable choice for anyone who has had a problem. That is a genuine and checkable reason to buy this, and it does not need the rest.
The ingredient list is still missing
Nothing is published about what is in the pac. No surfactant is named, no enzyme, no builder, no pH, no solvent. For a product marketed on sensitive skin, the ingredient panel is exactly what a buyer with a diagnosed sensitivity would want, and it is not on this page. Read the tub. The manufacturer field on this record also reads as a seller code rather than a company name, so the listing does not even identify who makes it.
Machines, temperatures and how many loads you get
The manufacturer states the pacs dissolve completely in all water temperatures and work in all washing machines including high efficiency models. Cold water dissolution is the claim worth holding a pac to, because a film that has not fully dissolved by the end of a short cold cycle leaves a gel patch on a garment and residue in the drum.
Two loads per tub of 66 is not how it works: one pac is one load, so 132 pacs is 132 loads at the standard dose. Heavily soiled or extra large loads may take two, which halves the count, and the listing gives no guidance on when to use a second. That is a gap: most pac products publish a load size chart, and this one does not.
Put the pac into the empty drum first, then load the clothes on top of it. This is the single most common mistake with pacs and the reason people report undissolved film. A pac resting on top of a full drum sits against fabric, never gets properly submerged, and comes out as a sticky patch. Never put a pac in the dispenser drawer, which is designed for liquid.
On fabrics, the listing names no restrictions at all. With no enzyme information published, treat wool and silk as untested and wash a single item before committing anything you value, since protease enzymes damage protein fibers. Follow the garment care label over the detergent tub whenever they disagree.
Other handling notes
Keep the tub dry as well as closed. Humidity in a laundry room is enough to make pacs soften and stick together in the tub, and a clump of two pacs is a double dose you did not intend. Do not store them above a dryer vent or a radiator.
Never combine a pac with another laundry product in the same drum stage. Do not add bleach on top of a pac, do not add an oxygen booster into the same pour, and do not use two pacs in the hope of a better result on a normal load, because excess detergent is not rinsed out fully in a high efficiency machine and ends up as residue in the fabric, which is the opposite of what a sensitive skin product is for. If you want fabric softening or static reduction, the manufacturer suggests its own softener and dryer sheets, and those go in at their own stages rather than in with the pac.
The recorded specification gives a package of 12.88 by 5.63 by 9.25 inches at 5.46 pounds for both tubs, which works out at roughly 19 grams per pac and is consistent with a standard pac size. The product is ranked 24th in Laundry Detergent Pacs and Tablets and 2,487th across Health and Household. The Customer Reviews field contains a sales rank string rather than a star rating, so there is no rating figure to quote.
Cost per load and the alternatives
Pacs are the most expensive common format per load and the easiest to compare, since one pac is one load and the arithmetic is trivial. What you are paying for is that nobody has to measure and nothing gets spilled, and in a shared laundry room or a household where several people do the washing, that consistency is worth something real. Where pacs lose is flexibility: a small load and a heavily soiled load get the same dose.
Comparisons on this site include the Tide Pods and the Tide bright and white pacs in the same format from the market leader, the Arm and Hammer pacs, and the Dropps laundry pods, which compete on formulation claims. The detergent pacs and tablets category and the liquid detergent category let you compare cost per load across both formats, which is the comparison that actually matters.
Who should buy them, and who should not
Buy them if you want a fragrance free and dye free detergent in a no measuring format, you wash 132 loads’ worth in a reasonable time, and you have somewhere high and dry to keep two tubs. The free of perfumes and dyes claim is the concrete one and it is the right reason to choose this. Skip them if there are young children in the house and you have nowhere genuinely out of reach, if you need an ingredient list before putting a detergent against skin, or if your loads vary enough that a fixed dose is wasteful. Buy the liquid instead in either of the first two cases.
